About us

This group will give people the opportunity to learn how to play chess. You will have the opportunity to meet new people, make new friends and practice your chess. Anybody who loves to play chess and is looking for a friendly group is welcome to join. I will schedule this group to meet one Saturday per month. Chess Tournaments are now taking place once every three months. Chess tournaments will take place in March, June, September, and December.

The Citrus Heights Chess Club Discord channel is now open. The discord channel is intended to make it easier for all members of this group to communicate either by text or by voice with each other. You may also stream or upload your recorded chess videos onto the server.

Chess Club Tournament signups can either be done through my discord server or through my website. Below is the link to the discord server.
